astyanax-tas-dragonxykAstyanax (1990) is the story of a studly 16-year-old boy named Astyanax who is summoned to the world of Remlia in order to save the enchantress Princess Rosebud from the evil wizard Blackhorn, who wants to rule the world. It is a somewhat clumsy game. For one, Astyanax is twice as big as he appears, and so he is easily hit unless one plays carefully. The controls are also very bad. The sum of these factors is that it's a difficult game to play, but that's part of what makes this movie interestin...Keywords:tas; tool-assisted speedrunDownloads: 393

Ninja Five-0 in 18:07 - JSP (aka. Nitsuja)Joe Osugi, bizarre 'anti-terrorist ninja', is called in to assist the local police, who seem to be completely useless in rescuing some hostages. The game is basically a series of rooms connected together. Your job is to rescue the hostages and then escape the stage through the red door. You have in your arsenal a three-level shuriken, a sword, and a grappling hook that seems to have been stolen from Bionic Commando...Keywords:speedrun; tool-assisted; superplay; tool-assisted speedrun; bisqwit; timeattackDownloads: 701

Mega Man in 16:10 - Joel Yliluoma (aka. Bisqwit) and Yashar Nasirian (aka. AngerFist)On this site, we make perfect movies, and then we surpass them. Of course, if we can surpass them, they were not perfect in the first place, but who would have known? This movie, played by Bisqwit and AngerFist, surpasses the previous Rockman movie by about 48 seconds. All stages were improved by at least half a second, and two stages were improved by more than 10 seconds. A lot of wall-crossing techniques are used in this movie...Keywords:speedrun; tool-assisted; superplay; tool-assisted speedrun; bisqwit; timeattackDownloads: 2,946

Mega Man 5 (ＵＳＡのロックマン５) in 33:04 - Lennart W. (aka. Baxter)Movie at Mega Man 5 (ＵＳＡのロックマン５), played by Baxter. This is a great improvement to the previous version by Kopernical, summing to 3 minutes and 26 seconds of time saved. The most obvious improvement comes in the superb well-planned use of the Super Arrow, which is used to dart Megaman through the stages horizontally and vertically. But there are many other improvements too, discussed at the author's comments.Keywords:speedrun; tool-assisted; superplay; tool-assisted speedrun; bisqwit; timeattackDownloads: 3,311

Rockman 2 in 25:35 - Morimoto and FinalFighterThis is the much-awaited new fast completion (timeattack) of Rockman 2, which took almost a year to make. The movie was played originally by Morimoto, until Finalfighter took over and replayed a few of the earlier levels and completed the Wily levels on his own. Timewise, this movie is almost 3 minutes faster than the previous version. It involves tons of glitches that have been precisely calculated in order to attain the fastest possible completion time...Keywords:speedrun; tool-assisted; superplay; tool-assisted speedrun; bisqwit; timeattackDownloads: 3,659

Super Mario Bros 3 in 10:35 - Jean-Francois Durocher (aka. Genisto)Once again, Genisto has surpassed the presumed limit of tool-assisted SMB3 speedrunning. The differences between the Japanese and USA versions of SMB3 entail a few seconds of change, but most of this 19-second improvement's enhancement is because of Mario's passing through walls in the final fortress ― a trick that was recently discovered by Bisqwit. There are also some other new strategies that Genisto uses in this movie...Keywords:speedrun; tool-assisted; superplay; tool-assisted speedrun; bisqwit; timeattackDownloads: 2,277

Super Mario Bros 2 in 07:54 - Phil CôtéSuper Mario Bros 2 is one of our most competed games. This is Phil's contribution. It improves the previous record by Sleepz by 36 frames (about 0.5 seconds) with minor improvements here and there. All of the tricks are however the same ― tricks which were invented by various authors, such as Sleepz and Genisto. If you are wondering how some of the tricks in this video work, see the Super Mario Bros...Keywords:speedrun; tool-assisted; superplay; tool-assisted speedrun; bisqwit; timeattackDownloads: 2,238 (1 review)

Sonic Advance 2 in 18:45 - JSP (aka. Nitsuja)Disappointed with slow paced movies that may be good but just move too slowly? Look no further, nitsuja in this extremely high speed run demonstrates how to break the sound barrier and why Sonic is the fastest character in the video game universe. The average character movement speed in this movie is probably the highest from all movies on this site. This movie doesn't collect any of the Chaos Emeralds, but does demonstrate almost every single move that Sonic is capable of in this game.Keywords:speedrun; tool-assisted; superplay; tool-assisted speedrun; bisqwit; timeattackDownloads: 4,925

NES Bionic Commando by Cardboard and JXQ in 14:03.38http://tasvideos.org/839M.html It's been a long time since a Bionic Commando TAS was submitted, but here we at last have a new version. Note: The previous version was made with the Japanese version, whereas this version is made with the USA version. There was actually a large debate on this site regarding which version should be used -- both versions contain something good and something bad that the other does not...Keywords:tas tasvideos tool-assisted speedrunDownloads: 61

NES Wrath of the Black Manta in 10:17.22 by adelikat - adelikatIn this game you are supposed to hunt down an evil crime syndicate (so what else is new?) by freeing kids from blocks of ice, and capturing the red guys to get clues. Unfortunately the ninja didn't have time for that, he just walks past all baddies and kills the bosses. The syndicate turns out to be selling drugs, but the Black Manta sets them straight: "Drugs kill you think you're cool but you're not." Yeah! This version is 20 seconds faster than the previous version by Walker Boh...Keywords:TAS; Tool-assisted Speedrun; TASVideosDownloads: 462
